[QUOTE="Mikey375, post: 1320630, member: 199626"] Howdy! If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it! I recently had my battery and charger flame out in a spectacular display of no-more-display (my theory is murder-suicide) and rushed my baby (MacBook from early 2009) to the ER (Genius Bar) for resuscitation. My Genius popped in a new battery, charged me a hundred bucks for the privilege, and sent me on my merry way. But. It's only been about a week and my battery life is, maximum, two-and-a-half hours. That's what it was before! I don't think I'm doing anything that should be overly draining--generally, I'm typing in Word and listening to iTunes. I have a browser open with five or so tabs but I'm not actually using them. Turning off my wireless or iTunes only gains me twenty minutes or so. I have my display bright, but it seems strange that my brand new battery would have the same battery life as the one that was almost three years old. Is this normal or can I storm back into the Apple Store in high dudgeon? Anyone? Bueller? Thanks, anyone that bothers answering! [/QUOTE]
